It is with heavy heart and much sorrow that I am withdrawing from the United Devices Cancer Research Project.
This is because I take great exception to the opt-in of the Anthrax Research Project.
In the mission statement at UD it clearly states -"Whatever results are uncovered will be made available to the United States government and other friendly governments".
This in no way indicates a humanitarian effort, but rather a political natured endeavor.
If the cure were being pursued for everyone, I would feel better about it - however that clearly is not the case.
I was willing to provide my spare processor cycles for a worthy cause that would benefit all mankind. I consider it to be a blatant misuse of the trust and resources I have placed at UD's disposal to forego the cancer project in favor of one that is clearly prejuidiced against select parties. At this time I feel that I can place no more trust in the UD Agent than I could in a common computer virus.
I went to the forum at UD to express my indignation at this turn of events.
On 2 seperate occasions, the official response of UD was to close the thread. One instance can be viewed at this page & at this page.
The official stance was the thread closings were to facilitate ease of replying to the ongoing controversy.
To that I responded "Perhaps if you were to close a few more threads the task could become managable ".
The response to that - from a UD employee was -"Actually, it has! Thanks for the suggestion.".
That exchange can be viewed at this link .
Needless to say I was rather irate by this time.
I proceeded to ask - if a cure for cancer were found, would it be for everyone, or only available to a select group.
I have never recieved a reply to that question from UD. I have stated that I was waiting for a reply to that question in the same thread. After that recieved a response that in no way answered the question, I asked if they were trying to change the topic.
Still the only answer I recieved was not from a representative of United Devices.
I have at this time uninstalled the UD Agent - removed all cookies associated with UD from my cookie folder - removed all references and links to UD from my personal website - and formally resigned from the TweakTown UD team.
And of course --- removed the annoying sig.
Sorry folks, but I truly feel betrayed by the United Devices Inc. company.
In fact, I am mad as hell -- so I did the only thing left to do.
But that didn't make me happy either:cry: :cry:
Sorry bro:cry: :cry: :cry:
